Sunday salutations from Happy Larryville, GN…where we may have some more icy fun toward the middle of the coming week. Imagine my delight. 😉
Is Al Gore coming for a visit?

Good morning and happy Sunday! Looks like a spa day for the lucky cat above--once the brushing is done it will be time to express the lucky feline’s anal glands!
A store labeled as “Dumb Starbucks,” using the Starbucks corporate logo and bearing an almost identical look to an actual Starbucks, opened up in Los Feliz on Friday, according to employees.
I strongly suspect this is a publicity stunt for a film or TV show, as their FAQ -- available at the link -- claims it’s “a work of parody art”. (Which, from a legal standpoint, I rather doubt; however, IANAL.*)
AlsoNotALawyerK thinks it may be an attempt to foment a court case which will damage “fair use” law. Or that “they’re just bone-headedly stupid”.

A blessed Sabbath, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa and Sven!
Dumb Starbucks and Expressive Anal Sacs -- what a combination!
As parody art, I kind of see it. As a statement against the ludicrousness of fourteen different Italian coffee sizes and all the convoluted combinations of half-caff, decaf, soy, et. al. I see it too.
On the other hand, if you wanted to do something like that, why not open a store next door to a $tarbuck$ and call it “A Coffee Shop”?
/yeah, I have my “issues” with $tarbuck$.
Good Sunday morning to all y’all. I’m trying to get *some* chores done, but they’re small ones since my back has really NOT been cooperating with my intentions over the last couple of days.
Does the question mark indicate you’re unsure if that was gross enough? ‘Cause I can fix that.
Bummer that your back acting-up; try to resist pushing yourself too hard. (I’m not a doctor, but being a Joooo, I’m at least halfway there. Ditto being a CPA, attorney and jeweler.)
Just made Sunday brunch (instead of chocolate croissants); not something we do too often. I was deeply disappointed with the quality of the Gwaltney Brown Sugar Bacon as it was clearly end-cut or other trim and neither labeled -- nor priced -- as such v. competitors’ products.
And the carpy coding of the “comments” box at their website further irritated me for several reasons.
As such, I think it’s high time to write a new post for my languishing moron blog over the next day or two. (I haz pictures, too.) 😉

“I’d like a Dumb Venti with soy milk and a double shot of expressed…” 😉
Um, ew?

My anal sacs are quite expressive. Some would say theatrical even.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Greetings from delightful Bountiful.
I sure do hope y’all have an expressive day, ’cause you just know I will.
Jerry!!!1!!!!11
Glad you finally made it home!
Ta-daaaaaaaaa!
Hope we’ll get to see a video of you and Sarah racing around teh house soon. (Do you cheat by, erm, “greasing the rails”?)
Having
imposed myself on Jerry’s good gracesenjoyed Jerry’s hospitality on more than one occasion, I can categorically state…that I’m not going to comment.
